Kirpianuscus The proposition of serie is very simple. and convincing. and seductive. life of a teenager. his friends. his secrets. his family. and admirable performances. a change of perspective about a familiar character. not fundamental different by what you know. but nuanced. in wise manner. maybe, this is the key of succes in this case. and, sure, a love story who, so intense being, seems provocative.

adonis98-743-186503 A young Clark Kent struggles to find his place in the world as he learns to harness his alien powers for good and deals with the typical troubles of teenage life in Smallville, Kansas. Smallville has been described as 'epic', 'magnificent' or even 'classic' but it's none of those things, to be honest the producers and the people behind Smallville butchered alot of great heroes and villains like Arrow, The Flash, Darkseid and even Doomsday and the series finale was so poorly made that they couldn't even show the suit (except the last few seconds). The acting was also meh and most of the stories boring as hell although Christopher Reeve's appearance in Season 2 and 3 and John Williams Theme in the Series Finale were dope but still not a good show and it doesn't do justice to Superman. (4/10)

Kingslaay Smallville was captivating from the start. The background and early years of Clark Kent as he evolved into Superman is both unique and great viewing. We can see so many other aspects to the future superhero and the producers have room to grow ideas and other characters. This long running show was so well received because of good character development and great story lines. Even though he wasn't superman we saw him save the day usually every time some new problem or force arose. The special effects deserve special praise especially when showing Clark's super powers and other supernatural effects. I felt Smallville breathed new life into the Superman franchise and gave it a great new outlook and spin.

Mark Harris Excellent use of music, some surprisingly good acting. Beautiful sets, at least within the budget constraints. So what's wrong? How about the worst writing ever, at least in prime-time. OMG, bad bad writing. Brain-damaging bad writing... I kept watching because I was invested in the actors. I enjoyed the use of music. I got into Lifehouse because of this show. I bought the two Smallville albums. John Schneider, Allison Mack, John "The Magnificent Bastard" Glover, Micheal Rosenbaum, all deserved so much more. Kristen Kreuk, so beautiful. And many more. Really a terrific cast. All spoiled by horrific brain-dead writing. And this after avoiding the whole "You seriously couldn't tell Clark Kent and Superman are the same person?" mess. The premise of the show was "no flights, no tights" which worked well and saved a lot of money. The show is watchable if you just want to have fun and avoid questions at all costs. You also have to skip Season 4 or watch it separately if you value your sanity. That's OK, events in that season are never referred to again anyway. Not even a shower scene like in "Dallas"! That's asking too much of Millar and Gough, who are the real villains of the piece...
